Restriction and/or just Irritated



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill (12pm) of 1.5cc to my 14cc band. I think I feel restriction? Or maybe it's that I just feel my stoma/esophagus being squeezed by that 1.5 of saline (4pm)? This is the same feeling as the swelling from surgery.

Will this feeling last because I don't feel hungry, so I hope so.

Mine doesn't hurt, when I drink a Protein shake I feel full. Doc said it may take a week or so to feel the fill! I think I feel it now. My hunger is head hunger, as I always have head hunger!

I got my first fill today too. I got 2.5cc. I don't hurt but I do feel a slight pressure in my chest. I guess it's the tightening of the band?? I was wondering that too.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
